That’s cool that you’re letting him work on you to a point.
I have a couple of pieces done by an apprentice. Since I got involved in this forum I’ve stopped though.
My skin is mine for all the rest of my life, and the people that will dissect me once I’m dead. (I can hear the medical students now. Man, this guy had some fucked up tattoos, or Wow! This guy had some cool ink!)
You get what you pay for. As long as you’re satisfied… That’s what really counts!

He a friend and has done all my tradotional work that ive posted on here , my chest piece and all the work on my leg so he is a verry good artist , he wanted to practice portaits , its only hos 3rd and I thinks its awsome
I don’t think it’s as bad as people are saying. Now, I’ve seen some god awful portraits which is why I’ve never considered getting one as a tattoo until recently. I think your artist did well with the face but his work with hair/beards will be something to focus on to get the little details down pat.
I have a full sleeve made by a guy who at the time specialized in b&g and horror… Almost five years later, he’s know for his color work and get a ton of clients for it.
What do I get in return, for being his guinea pig and the one who pushed him into doing color? My entire arm re-worked, up to 12hours work, for free. Fairly certain I’ll never pay full price with him for anything. He loves me for it, is really grateful and it’s something he can fix up. And I love the sleeve, he’s a good friend, and I don’t mind that it’s not world class 🙂 So many great stories with that guy.
So I get it! Not every tattoo you get has to be about hunting down the worlds best artist, sometimes it’s just as much about the artist, the story around it, etc.
I’m guessing you don’t have some deep emotional meaning connected to it either, so I think its just a fun piece! 🙂
